Using wire strippers, carefully strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the chandelier's electrical wires. Then, connect the chandelier's wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling junction box using twist-on connectors. Typically, you will connect the black wire from the chandelier to the black wire from the ceiling (hot to hot), the white wire from the chandelier to the white wire from the ceiling (neutral to neutral), and the bare copper or green ground wire from the chandelier to the copper ground wire from the ceiling. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
